Reader's Paradise discussion

hi, iam all set to begin.

Hi.

Any books you suggest?

I am now reading The A.B.C. Murders and Fangirl. I got The Palace of Illusions last week so that is under next TBR. You like Dan brown? I like to read Angels & Demons or Digital Fortress. I dont like cheap romance, distopians or tragic non fictions. Love thrillers. What are your favorites?

Palace of illusion has been ok my to read list for some time. So that's ok.

Other than that I am also interested in the following books, common in our to read:
midnight's children
One hundred years of solitude
When breath becomes air
Lord of the flies.


I am not into Dan brown. So sorry on that part. I have chosen 4 books so that there is enough variation.

have read One hundred years of solitude, and i quit. ITs lagging and boring. Lord of the flies, i've started it. Its about some children in a deserted island. I didnt liked it then. So again i quit. Midnight's children i ve heard it. And also When breath becomes air. A memoir. I think i like to read When breath becomes air and the palace of illusions. How about reading both?

Sure. Which one do you wanna start? When do you wanna start?

I think the br starts on april 1st. as we rcreading two books we will start asap. lets start with when breath becomes air :) are u ok with it?

Yea!

Good luck guys!
When Breathe Becomes Air is in my tbr. Let's see how it turns out for you :)

yea lets see. its a non fiction, a memoir. i don't usually pick those. Its Phani's pick

I like memoirs... sounds interesting. I'll have a look at it :)

try it. have heard its good :-)

I thought you were interested since it's in your to read list. It's fine with me if you would like to read some other book.

@phani thats ok phani. buddy reads is about reading out if ur comfort zone. i procastinated to start that book even though many told me its good. now i have reason. :)

So i have started reading. its really good. page turner. am here reading the book. first a bit about the present situation and later on his life before becoming a neuro surgeon.

i finished when breath becomes air :) sorry to be fast its was a good book and only had 200 pages.

@phani i think i need more of your suggestion for books. its gud.

I will take time to read this book. I don't think I can read this one in single sitting.

I know its BR and we should read same books according to the rule. But as someone said "Rules are meant to be broken" and so I will break that rule if you become my accomplice :)

Since you asked me for suggestion, here we go:
The little prince -- very short book. It is very close to my heart.(You can find this online easily. Try to read the colored version.)
The book thief -- The only book for which i couldn't stop my tears. Beautifully written and amazing one.

i hav read the book thief upto half. it was depressing. ill continue reading it after sometime

Yea its depressing. But it is beautiful for the same reason. When you read last time, did you read till the point where she gets the gift? It also happens some where in middle.

i read wen a man comes to their home with mein khampf.

Try to read bit more... It gets really good.

I can say yes Book thief may be depressing at the start, when you keep moving on the through the pages the depressing feeling will vanish and you will never want to keep the book down. you eventually fall in love with this book and that will remain even after finishing the book.

then as u guys say ill continue reading.

Rules? What rules? As Amir from Kite Runner said: "The rules were simple. No rules. Fly your kite." :P :P

I see that you liked that. Do read my review also of this book.

I am also nearly done with "when breath becomes air".

Which book do wanna read next?

let me look ur review. i lik reading reviews. a bit hectic now yaar. colleg works. but iam looking forward to read
the art of being normal
those pricey thakur girls
the light between the oceans
the mysterious affairs at styles

the art of being normal looks interesting.

I will be busy for a week. I can read seriously after that. But you can go ahead and i ll catch u later.

Do you read manga?

Havent tried yet. Suggest some please. Iam currently reading the kite runner. Will finish it soon. Then ill start art of being normal. We will discuss wen we both finish.

Its ok.

For reco's of manga, can u tell me:
Do you like action movies?
Or good fighting sequences? (good means with nice strategy with unnecessary blood bath)
Or do u prefer non violent and more of a romantic kind?

Some of my favorite manga have fights and i am not sure if you are ok with them. If you are not i will suggest others.

Since you like mystery you can try deathnote. Death note will be the most intense story you have ever read/watched. Personally I feel it is a great manga(comic)/anime(cartoon) and most of the people just watch that and don't watch others, which i don't like. Because there are many amazing stories which are not as intense and people don't try them.

ok so ill try death note soon. :)

Hi. What are you upto?

I ll start reading the art of being normal in a day or two.

I am half way through the art of being normal. Its pretty interesting. Thanks for the reco
